With the start of spring quarter class, students ought
to be Bookin' it, but many obviously prefer to spend the
warm days enjoying their favorite outdoor recreational
activities. The first week of classes have brought with
Biking Photography: Tom Palmer
them the first week of real spring weather, tempting
students to forsake class to enjoy the great outdoors.
Here, a student had found a compromise that may be the
cure for "springfever", a bike ride on the way to class.

A proposal to raise tuition this fall
by $60 to provide funds for the
library and faculty salary adjust­ments
may be voted on at the
Auburn Board of Trustees meeting
June 1.
Dr. Grover T. Jacobs, financial
adviser to the president, said that
although the budget committee is
studying the possibility of an in­crease,
he was not sure if the
proposal would reach a vote at the
June meeting.
However, Jacobs said he felt it
was safe to say that a recommenda­tion
would be made by the commit­tee
to the board at the June meeting.
Trustee Bob Harris made the
tuition proposal increase at the
MarchlBboardmeeting. Harris told
board members that tuition hike
would produce a little more than $3
million a year, and with appropriate
adjustments to out-of-state stu­dents,
a little more.
Harris's proposal did not recie ve a
second.
"I was seeking to find some funds
to be made available to improve
faculty salaries and provide relief
for the library situation," Harris
explained.
"The faculty at Auburn has
sustained the erosion of inflation
and a reduction in earning power
through proration and the reduction
in state appropriations," Harris
added. "The tuition increase would
provide some money for salary
increases and not depend on the
whims of the governor."
Trustee Morris Savage said
"under the present funding system
we have to do it. We have no other
choice," Savage added, but he
doubted the $50 increase proposed
would be enough for next year.
At a meeting of student leaders
and spring candidates Tuesday,
President Hanly Funderburk was
asked by students for his views on
possible tuition increases.
"My philosophy is that fees at a
land grant university should be held
to as low a level as possible," said
Funderburk. But he added that "we
will have to rely on fee increases
more during these hard times than
we have in the past."
Funderburk also called the cur­rent
out-of-state fee of $1,400 per
year "the most off-base of all the
fees,'' but said no specific proposals
have been made to increase only the
out-of-state fee.
Asked about the effects of a fee
increase on prospective students,
Funderburk responded, "I'd just
have to look at the student eyeball to
eyeball and say he might have to dig
a little deeper into his pocket to
support Auburn University."
The President also said several
University officials met recently
with an alumni group in Atlanta and
discussed possible fee increases.
The Atlanta Club "promised to pay
whatever the cost might be for their
children attending Auburn if it
would help maintain a quality
program here," said Funderburk.
Reagan shooting draws J.F.K. comparisons
Inside
By John Mangels
News Editor
Shock and anger seemed to be the
prevailing emotions among Auburn
students and faculty as the first
reports of the attempt on Ronald
Reagan's life filtered through cam­pus
Monday.
As the three networks interrupted
their regular afternoon program­ming
to bring early details of the
Washington shootings, a crowd of
about 60 students gathered around
the television set in Foy Union. The
crowd's laughter at the confusion in
the ABC newsroom changed to
silence as the first reports of injuries
came in, and to audible gasps and
murmers of disbelief as anchor
Frank Reynolds announced the
president had been shot and
wounded.
"I was walking by the Union's
television set and heard people
laughing, so I stopped to find out
whatwas going on," saidDottie Cox,
a freshman in Home Economics
education. "The first thing I though
was that it just wasn't real."
Students gathered in small groups
on theConcourse and stairs of Haley
Center, breaking the news to those
who had been in class at the time of
the incident and exchanging the
latest news reports. Many reported
feeling anger upon hearing the
news.
"I wasn't shocked, just mad,"
said Pat Wright, a senior in political
science. "It seems like nobody's
safe anymore. Maybe it doesn't
make sense, but I wish they had
killed him (Reagan's attacker)."
Mary Lee Horton, a junior in
public administration who attended
Reagan's innauguration cere­monies
in January, said she was
"first surprised and then angry. I
just don't understand why. I guess I
thought of the Kennedy assassina­tion.
It seems like when someone
makes an attempt to do some good,
something like this happens."
On the upper floors of Haley
Center, professors just arriving
from 2 p.m. classes gathered in
doorways and offices around the
handfull of portable radios tuned to
local stations. "This just isn't the
time for something like this," one
professor angrily snapped as it was
reported Reagan was to be operated
on.
"My first thought was 'not again,
for gosh sakes,'" history professor
Curtis Henson said. "I don't think
ths country is ready for another
emotional trauma. I know I'm not —
never again."
Journalism Professor Jerry
Brown said a student first informed
him of the shooting. "I went to the
journalism lab to see if anything had
come over the Associated Press
wire, "Brown said. "I thought about
the way I felt as an Auburn student
when a guy In the Union building told
me President Kennedy had been
shot."
Upon learning of the assassina­tion
attempt, "I felt a mixture of
feelings that I don't know how to
express," Dean of students Harold
Grant said. "I guess my first
thoughts were, 'Oh no, not again.'"
As the afternoon wore on, the
crowd around the Union Building
television set dwindled to less than a
dozen. The downtown area was
crowded, however, with students
windowshopping and buying books
forthe beginning of the quarter. The
shooting still seemed to be the major
conversation topic in the numerous
groups of shoppers, but the mood of
the crowds became more upbeat as
it became apparent Reagan's con­dition
was stable.
On the now-deserted Haley Center
Concourse, Physical Plant worker
Quintaird Warren methodically
swept up small piles of leaves. "I
heard the news at home on tele­vision,
andlcameon into work," he
said softly. "I wasn't mad, I was
just surprised."
Warren tightened his grip on the
broom and looked down as a sudden
breeze scattered the leaves. "It was
ju 4'like Kennedy all over again," he

Word may come soon on athletic director
By Keith Ayers
Plainsman Staffwriter
Although It has been almost two
months since Lee R. Hayley an­nounced
his resignation as director
of athletics here, University of-ficals
are still in the dark as to when
the position will be filled and by
whom, according to Jerry M. Ray,
assistant director of University
Relations.
Ray said Tuesday the selection
could be made' 'in the next couple of
weeks" or as late as June 1, which is
the date of the next meeting of the
board of trustees.
Ray said the current goal is to
choose the director at the next board
meeting, but he also said it is
possible that a special meeting
might be called prior to that time to
reveal the new director.
Upon his resignation on Feb. 18,
Hayley said he would leave Auburn
to assume responsibilities as as­sociate
athletic director at the
University of Georgia' 'no later than
May 15."
The next board of trustees meet­ing
is scheduled for June 1 at the
Solon- Dixon Forestry Education
Center, located near Andalusia
between Escambia and Covington
counties.
Auburn President Hanly Funder­burk
has said he does " not want to go
all the way to June 1 without a
decision."

Tuskegee trip by Reagan
in doubt, not canceled yet
A potential trip by President
Ronald Reagan to Tuskegee April 12
has not been canceled due to the
president's hospitalization after
Monday's assassination attempt, a
White House spokesman said
yesterday.
The trip would be made to attend
ceremonies marking the one
hundredth anniversary of the
founding of Tuskegee Institute, one
of the nation's foremost black
institutions.
"Any schedule speculation is not
reasonable at this time,'' the spokes­man
said. She added she could not
speculate on when a final decision on
the trip would be made.
"But," she said, "that trip was
never announced officially in the
first place."
Astronomer Carl Sagan will pre­sent
a lecture at the Tuskegee
Institute Chapel next Wednesday at
7:30 p.m. The lecture is entitled
"Exploration of the Planets" and is
being sponsored by the Carver
Research Foundation and the
Sigma Xi fraternity of Tuskegee
Institute.
At three o'clock yesterday, campaign workers hit the
streets with T-shirts, posters and other candidate
paraphernalia. These workers carried wood signs to put
up, but faced the 'first come, first served' battle that
Election fever Photography: Mam Aimona
accompanies elections. By the time these six workers
arrived, 14 other signs had already been staked out at
the four way stop intersection. Campaigning will
continue for a week.
'Bookin'Into Spring9 kicks off $35,000 goal for library fundraisers
By Karen Hartley
Assistant News Editor
A week of events, including an
appearance by actor Vincent Price
and singers Michael Murphey and
Gene Cotton,will launch a string of
fundraisers designed to help raise
money for the Ralph Brown Drau-ghon
Library.
The week, entitled "Bookin' Into
Spring", will be held April 6 through
April 11 and is designed to increase
the students' • awareness of the
library's financial difficulties .as
well as to raise money for the
facility.
The library has experienced level
funding for the past two years. The
absence of a budget increase,
combined with proration of 7 per­cent
and a simoultaneous 21.3
percent increase in periodicals cost
has caused the library to initiate a
$200,000 cut in periodicals in order to
stay within its budget.
John Little, chairman of the UPC
sponsored event, explained the
reasons for selecting the library as a
recipient of the funds.
"The library's problems have
been headlined for the past two
quarters and once someone sug­gested
the idea, it was overwhel­mingly
agreed upon that it was the
place that needed the money most,''
he said.
Beginning the six days of enter­tainment
is a candidate forum
presented by Horizons. Those run­ning
for the off ices of SG A Vice pres­ident
and Plainsman editor will
speak at noon on Monday, April 6
and the presidential candidates will
speak at noon on Tuesday, April 7.
Both events wil be at War Eagle
Cafeteria.
Also on Monday, Vincent Prir-e
will be featured at 8 p.m. in Telfair
Peet Theatre in "Diversions and De­lights."
In the one man show. Price
plays the 19th century writer Oscar
Wilde.
Admission is $1 for students and $3
for non-students. Tickets will be sold
at the box office April 1 and 2 for
students and April 3 and 6 to the
general public.
Tuesday will be highlighted by Dr.
Wilson Bryan Key, who will present
a speech on subliminal seduction in
advertising, which is seen in many
of the more than 300,000 ads a
consumer views by the age of 18. He
will speakat7:30p.m. in the Student
Activities Building.
The Heath Brothers Jazz Band
will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday,
April 9, in Telfair Peet Theatre. The
quintet formed in 1974, and includes
the Bebop sounds of yesterday and
the contemporary sounds of today in
their repertoire.
Tickets for the performance will
be $1 and will go on sale April 7 at the
UPC office.
Friday, April 10, the free movie
"The Jerk", will be shown on the
Katharine Cooper Cater Hall lawn,
beginning at 8 p. m. Popcorn and soft
drinks will be available for pur­chase.
Wednesday thro

the other fundraisers. Eaqh "brick"
is a certificate sold for 50 cents, and
may be bought at the concourse and

WORLD THIS WEEK Year 'round contracts imposed
INTERNATIONAL
STRAJK—the polish word for strike was again heard from Poland's
Solidarity unionists. The request this time: For the Polish government to
protectthe cause of reform or face a devastating general strike this week. A
four-hour strike ensued before union leader Lech Walesa offered to give
Prime Minister Wojciech Jaruzeleski time to think things over. The
increasing tension in Poland brings with it a possible danger that the next
showdown could bring Soviet troops across the border.
NATIONAL
REAGAN RECOVERY—Recovering from gunshot surgery after an
assassination attempt on his life Monday, President Ronald Reagan was
reported as doing "extremely well" less than 24 hours after doctors
removed an assailants bullet from the president's left lung. According to
EdwinMeese, the president's counselor, Reagan was' 'able to do some work
Wednesday and is in command of the situation." White House
communications were set up at George Washington Hospital, were the
President is recovering, while Vice President George Bush conducted
business as the White House.
ASSASSINATION MOTIVE—Investigations have revealed that an
obsessive infatuation with teenage actress Jodi Foster may have been the
motive behind the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan's
life. In a letter to Foster, who is a freshman at Yale, suspect John W.
Hinckley, 25, outlined his plans for the assassination plot. Police sources in
New Haven, Conn., saidHinckley followedFoster to Yale last fall when she
enrolled and she received "heavy fan notes" from Hinckley that were
neither threatening nor obscure. Miss Foster, who protrayed a 12-year-old
prostitute in the movie "Taxi Driver" in which a character played by
Robert De Niro threatened to prove his love for her by assassinating a
politician, saidshe "has never met, spoken to or associated" with Hinckley.
STATE
ALABAMA POWER SETTLES SUIT—As many as 1,200 past and present
black employees of Alabama Power Co. maybe able to receive an average
sum of $1,400 if a federal judge approves a settlement reached in a
discrimination suit. In the largest such agreement in the company's
history, Alabama Power agreed to the settlement in connection with
allegations of race and sex discrimination filed by the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission. Under the settlement, Alabama Power will be
required to distribute $1.7 million to about 1,200 blacks. The company also
agreed to hire 167 blacks and women, whose applications are already on file,
over a five-year period.
JAMES SIGNS DEATH BILL—Gov. Fob James signed into law a new
death penalty Tuesday, which he said is "a gigantic step" towards helping
law enforcement protect Alabama citizens. Both James and Attorney
General Charles Graddick said they would be willing to pull the switch for
the electric chair penalty.
AU budget proposals
remain in committee
By JoBeth McDaniel
Assistant News Editor
Students living in University
housing will be required to live in the
dormitory all three quarters next
year or face a penalty for moving,
according to Smith Jackson, as­sistant
to the director of housing.
The housing department has im­plemented
several new measures
which are detailed in a new contract
distributed to University housing
residents Tuesday. The major
change in the contract is that
residents moving before the end of
spring quarter will be required to
pay the remaining rent for their
rooms for the time it remains
vacant. This law will be waived for
those experiencing serious illness
or injury, in case of marriage or
graduation or in the case of a co-op or
interning student who must live
away from campus.
Jackson said the number of dorm
residents decreases after fall
quarter then drops sharply after
winter quarter, which leaves the
housing department with a number
of empty rooms in dorms. He said
almost 700 coeds were on a waiting
list to get in these dorms, but
because the housing department is
not notified in time, the rooms often
remain vacant, and the department
takes a loss on the room.
The housing department is a
self-contained system financed
totally by revenue from rent fees.
The department is not funded from
the University's general budget.
Jackson said the department
cannot handle further losses at this
time, when it is saddled with a deficit
in the hundreds of thousands. He
said the rent increase in January
and the rent increase approved for
this fall will not entirely compensate
for the previous losses.' "The goal of
this department is to fill the dorms
four quarters a year and bring in
more money," he said. "We are
hoping to have all available housing-filled
in the summer as
well as the rest of the year."
Jackson said the people actually
paying for the revenue loss from the
vacant rooms are the students in
residence now, and he said, "we
don't want to penalize them for what
other students are doing."
Students will be allowed to find
their own replacements to live in
their rooms when moving out before
the contract ends, providing they
contact the housing department and
there is no waiting list for that type of
housing. If a replacement is found,
the resident leaving is not required
to pay the remainder of the year's
rent, Jackson said.
"The two contracts are not that
different," said Kim Trupp, a
housing agreement officer. "The
main difference is that by in­creasing
the penalty of moving off
campus early, we probably won't
have as many problems with vacant
rooms during spring quarter," she
said. "Empty spaces don't help us
out at all."
Another major change imple­mented
by the housing department
is an increase in single student
housing spaces on campus. Though
Building E of the Caroline Draughon
Village single student apartment
complex will be changed to accomo­date
women instead of men this fall,
one building of the married sudents
complex will be converted to occupy
single males, bringing a net in­crease
of 60 spaces for on-campus
residency.
"The worst retention average on
campus has been at the married
students' apartments, partly be­cause
of a recent rent increase and
partly because the trend is away
from married students attending
college," Jackson said.
Gail McCullers, director of
By John Mangels

Auburn University's financial
hopes for the 1981-82 fiscal year now
rest on four separate budget pro­posals
which have been introduced
and are currently being examined
by committees of the Alabama
Legislature.
Gov. Fob James submitted his
budget recommendations for higher
education to the Legislature March
4, after a two-week delay. James
recommended the Auburn system
be allocated $61.9 million from the
state's Special Education Trust
Fund. The entire allocation would be
given to the board of trustees in a
lump sum according to James'
proposal, rather than the line item
budget that has been prepared in the
past.
A substitute for James' budget
recommendations has been intro-ducedby
the House Ways and Means
Committee. That proposal, which is
in line item form, recommends that
Auburn receive $62.2 million, a
slight increase over James' budget.
A second budget introduced in the
House by Rep. Charles Langford of
Montgomery recommends the
largest allocation of the four
budgets for the Auburn system, at
$63.7 million. Langford's proposal
divides the state allocations be­tween
the main campus, AUM and
the University's agricultural opera­tions
but, like James' version, is not
in line item form.
The final budget recommenda­tion,
introduced by Finance and
Placement Office
has summer jobs
The Auburn placement office
currently has information on sum­mer
jobs for students in youth
camps and with various industries.
The placement office, located in
400 Martin Hall, is open from 7:45
a.m. to 4:45 p.m. List of the above
jobs are available, as well as
application blanks and descriptive
materials.
Taxation Committee Chairman
Sen. Richmond Pearson of Birming­ham,
lists an allocation for the
Auburn system of $62.4 million.
The Senate Finance and Taxation
Committee met with the House
Ways and Means Committee in
preliminary session on higher edu­cation
funding before the Legis­lature's
formal session began in
January. The Legislature's final
budget recommendations, which
must be signed into law by the
governor and are usually not com­pleted
until the end of the session in
May, are generally a compromise
between the House and Senate
proposals. That means Auburn will'
probably receive no more than $62.4
million from the state.
The University's allocation from
the trust fund last was initially $68.3
million before 10 percent proration.
Auburn actually received $61.7
million from the state, eliminating a
reserve fund that had been built to
offset proration.
The Alabama Commission on
Higher Education recommended
Auburn receive $80.1 million from
the state for the 1981-82 fiscal year.
University officials requested $81.9
million, but in budget planning
session last July, built Auburn's
budget around the $68.3 million
1980-81 pre-proration appropriation
from the SETF.
Financial adviser to the president,
Dr. Grover Jacobs, said the Univer­sity
will probably be facing a $4 to $5
million cut in state appropriated
funds from what had been planned
for, with "no proration reserve in
next year's budget.
"We still have a shortfall and we
can't fund the budget we expect to
spend with the money we will
probably receive from the state,"
Jacobs said. "We have three op­tions-
generate more income, re­duce
expenditures or combine the
two measures.
' 'There are no concrete answers,
Jacobs said. "After three years of
proration, there are no additional
areas to economize in. We're in the
process of looking at a possible
tuition increase, but we hope to keep
that increase as low as possible."

housing, said the department was
also required to add the extra spaces
for men to comply with federal
guidelines for campus housing.
In addition to these changes,
priority for housing will now be
determined by the number of
quarters for which a person applies.
' "This means that students applying
for on-campus housing from
summer to spring have priority oyer
those applying for fall through
spring. We're hoping this will help
increase the number of people
wanting to live on campus this
summer," Jackson said.
"This summer we will only rent
out the new apartments for single
students, unless we have a large
number of applicants. In that case,
we will open up Noble Hall.'' He said
the quarterly rent has been set at
$200, which is $80 below the present
rent rate and $140 below what will be
charged this fall. No Hill dorms will
be rented out this summer because
they will all be used for conferences.
Jackson said the department makes
a considerable amount of money
from these summer conferences
and he also noted that the Hill dorms
give visitors" a good impression of
Auburn and the University.

Thomas appointed UA president
By Matt Lamere
Plainsman Staffwriter
The nine month search for a new
president at the University of
Alabama ended last week with the
announcement of Dr. Jacob Thomas
as the school's new chief.
Thomas, who was selected from a
list of candidates that originally
consisted of 230 names, will step in
as the University's 26th president.
Thomas' appointment follows the
resignation of Dr. David Matthews
of July l, 1980.
To become the new president,
Thomas leaves the position of
chancellor at North Carolina State
University.
According to reports in The
Crimson White, UA's student news­paper,
faculty and students at the
University are welcoming Thomas' s
appointment with mixed feelings.
Depite these feelings, most appear
willing to give Thomas their coope­ration
in order to get the University
moving again.
Dwight Eddins, an English pro­fessor
at Alabama said that "given
all possible choices, I would have
preferred someone who had no
previous contacts with the present
administration. But, despite that,
I'm going to swing my support to
him and try to get the University
moving."

Nigerian delegation visits Auburn
By Lynn Brown
Plainsman Staffwriter
A delegation of 12 Nigerians and a
representative of the U.S. Depart­ment
of State visited Auburn Uni­versity's
Schcol'of Agriculture Fri­day
as part of a five day visit to
Alabama.
The group of politicians from the
Anambra State of Nigeria visited
Alabama to gather an overall
knowledge about the government
and agriculture of the United States.
Since the end of the Biafran War in
Director
1970, Anambra State has modeled its
new civilian government after the
U.S.
Dean for Research and Director of
the Agriculture Experiment Sta­tion,
Gale Buchanan said that the
group's visis was "delightful." He
added that "the group spoke English
quite well-even with somewhat of a
Southern drawl."
Buchanan said the politicians
were mainly interested in Auburn's
aqua-culture and poultry divisions.
A luncheon was held in Foy Union
for the delegation.
The politicians will travel to New
Orleans and toBostonbefore return­ing
to New Orleans.
A visit to Montgomery earlier in
the week included watching Ala­bama's

Planning will outline the findings of
a study on options available to the
airport. An earlier study by another
consulting firm recommended ex­pansion
of the east-west runway in
an easterly direction. Opposition
from property owners who would be
affected, resulted in Auburn Univer­sity,
owner of the airport, with
concurrence of the Federal Aviation
Administration, seeking a review of
its options.
Personsfavoring expansion have
generally agreed such a move is
necessary if the airport is to
accommodate a predicted increase
in small jet traffic, primarily
private and corporate aircraft.
A decision in thenear future would
be necessary for the University to
take advantage of an F AA grant that
would pay 80 percent of the cost of a
naviational aid to improve the
safety of approaches and landings.
The University hopes to establish a
policy on expansion before the
equipment is installed.

Thomas was formerly the vice
president for student affairs at the
University of Alabama.
A professor of chemical engineer­ing,
Gary April, stated that if
Thomas comes through with his
initial promises, he should prove to
be an effective president for the
University. April said "if he follows
up on some of the things I've seen in
the news media, it's going to be fun in
regard to research and academic
support."
Thomas has made statements
concerning merit raises and addi­tional
support for research pro­grams.
Student reactions to the new
president were fairly positive.
' 'He didn'tbullaroundat the press

Book it
The term "student activism" has for many
years carried with it a negative connotation of
disorder, disregard for the law and even
violence.
But, to coin an old phrase, it ain' t necessarily
so.
During the next week, Auburn will have a
chance to engage in some student activism of
the most positive son.
A student committee working trying to help
alleviate some of the problems now arising at
Ralph Draughon Library have joined forces
with che UPC to afford all students a chance to
contribute to a most worthy cause—their own
educations.
Using the slogan B.Y.O.B.—for Buy Your
Own Book—the two groups have planned a
series of activities designed to raise part of the
money needed to help rescue the Library' from
its current financial straits.
Starting Sunday, students will have the
opportunity to "Book it into Spring" both
figuratively and literally. By participating in
the events scheduled, they can not only take
advantage of—cross your fingers—our fine
spring weather to enjoy some fine outdoor
entertainment, but by doing so they will be,
quite literally buying themselves and Auburn
University part of a book.
Every dollar made from events requiring
admission fees will go to the library, a library
which has had to discontinue book purchases
for the first time since The Great Depression
and which faces a $20,000 cutback in money
budgeted for periodicals.
The UPC has taken great pains to schedule
entertainment which can be enjoyed by
everyone. Events range from a theater
performance by Vincent Price to hot air balloon
rides to political speeches to a soft rock concert.
But even if the events don't strike everyone's
fancy, the cause should.
Organizers think the project could net as
much as $ 3 5,000, all of which would go directly
to the library. That would be nearly one-fifth
the amount needed to prevent the planned
cutbacks in periodicals. It would be a start.
Some may feel that students should not have
to ' ' buy their own books'' at a state supported
school. We agree completely. This kind of
project should be a one-time occurance. But by
demonstrating its concern through this kind of
"student activism," Auburn's student body
could show those in power that it believes
Auburn University is an institution worth
paying for.
Elect the best
Elections are here, as is evidenced by the
flyers, posters, T-shirts and signs bombarding
Auburn students all around campus. Cam­paigns
are now in full swing, and we once again
urge students to look closely at the candidates'
qualifications before making a decision.
With this paper we have included an election
supplement that lists information about each
of the candidates competing in this year's
elections. Interviews with candidates for major
positions are also included.
Each year the SGA is responsible for
Strength in unity
The assassination attempt on President
Ronald Reagan's life Monday left us thankful
that history does not always repeat itself. With
only three or four inches separating a slug
which entered the left chest of Reagan from his
heart, the world was rescued from the fifth
reccurance of the saddest blight on American
history.
Thousands of words have already been
written about the horror of the assassination
attempt and the state of a society which permits
violent crime statistics to rise in double digits
yearly.
Movie and TV violence, ax gun control laws
and the deterioration of moral values in today' s
society have all been cited as contributing
causes to bizarre assassination attempts such as
the one Monday.
We think now, however, that more
important words should be those of a
bipartisan "thanks" to whatever power or
quirk of fate spared the president's life, as well
as those of Secret Service Agent Tim
McCarthey, Washington D.C. policeman
Thomas Delahanty and Presidential Press
Secretary James Brady, whose recovery so far
can be termed nothing short of miraculous.
Unity is a commodity hard to come by in our
political system. We may not all agree with
President Regan's views or policies. But we
would hope that in this moment of near crisis,
we can all unite in our hopes for the swift and
complete recovery of the victims of Monday's
despicable and tragic act of violence.
A word of thanks
Traditionally, the first week of spring
quarter is our "hell week." An April Fools
edition and an election supplement as well as
the regular two-section paper mean the staff
must meet four separate deadlines in two days.
To its enormous credit, my staff met all four
of these deadlines as they have met deadlines
all year. That is something Plainsman staffs
haven't been known for in a long time. They
know I appreciate their efforts, as I hope our
readers do.
Some obstacles, however, simply can't be
overcome, such as an electrical storm Tuesday
night which knocked out the presses which
print The Plainsman and delayed printing of
the April Fools edition. As a result, it didn' t get
to students until late-morning on Wednesday.
We apologize for the delay. For those who
wanted an April Fools edition but could not
find one, we have a few hundred left at our
office below War Eagle Cafeteria.

Hinckley's failure an inevitable result
The government of the United States is a slow,
ponderous creature. The gradual change which
has characterized most of American history is
the direct result of its unique design. So, for that
matter, is its 205 year life span.
Several times in the course of that life span,
events have occured which might have easilv
toppled less resilient governments. Civil War
has torn the nation apart, and social disorders
have caused riots in our streets.
Yet, America's chameleon-like democracy has
endured, occasionally changing colors to fit the
times.
Not even the bullets of terrorists who have
assassinated four U.S. Presidents have affected
the basic form of our government, or even
drastically altered the course of the country at
the time.
What then, could John Warnock Hinckley
have possibly hoped to achieve Monday when he
came within a Secret Service agent of killing a
newly elected President?
Hinckley's five shots hit four people, one of
whom was Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy,
who happened to step between Ronald Reagan
and his assailant just in time to prevent a second
bullet from hitting the President.
Perhaps Hinckley is simply an emotionally
disturbed young man. Reportedly, he tried to
board a plane to Nashville carrying three guns
when then President Carter was to deliver a
speech in the Tennessee city.
Perhaps he has some grudge against the
conservative convictions and new policies of
Scott
Thurston
i .
President Reagan. Perhaps he is part of some
conspiracy.
Whatever the case, it doesn't really matter.
Reagan was and is President of the United
States, even if he weren't today, the basic
structure of his administration would remain
intact. George Bush is ready to assume
command should Reagan's recovery stall or go
sour. His decisions as acting President would
probably differ little from Reagan's.
But there is no way to look at any bright side of
what occured Monday. One simply doesn't exist.
We pride ourselves as being civilized members
of an orderly, yet free society. And still, our
afternoon can be interrupted by reports of a man
attemptingto gun down the President. We must
all wonder what imperfections of human nature
can allow such events to happen.
Will we now allow such events to take an even
higher toll by exerting an influence over the
structure of our society and government? Will
events like these be allowed to make a case for a
less free, less open society? Will gun control laws
be swiftly passed or press access to the
President be curtailed by those who offer gut
reactions to emotional events?
When he is finished popping off one-liners to
his doctors, President Reagan will certainly
discourage this from happening. He knows now
more than anyone the terrifying effects of
violence, and particularly of political violence.
Yet he knows that throughout its history, the
United States has remained peculiarly unaffec­ted,
at least in the long run, by such acts that in
other countries topple governments like
dominoes.
The assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and
John F. Kennedy, two of the nation's most
dynamic, activist presidents, crushed the
dreams of many who saw in them the magical
sort of leadership that often ushers a nation into
a new era.
In both cases, America did indeed move into
new eras despite their deaths. And in both cases,
the country stood unified, if only in its grief for a
fallen leader, just as America stands unified this
week in its sadness about the violence in its
capital.
Nonetheless, I have often wondered how
those of his generation could still carry with
them such sadness over the death of John F.
Kennedy.
Monday Land I believe all of my generation
came much too close to knowing the answer.
allocating the student activities fees that you
pay along with your tuition—whether you vote
or not. Each year the student government acts

responsible or not, are elected to positions of
power—whether you vote or not.
Responsible, hard-working and dedicated
people are needed to fill each of these

to choose the best possible candidates and then

CDV growing old before its time
When I was a freshman we knew it as "spring
vandalism." It was purely a fair weather sport.
That spring of 1978 the pranks included moving
telephone booths, painting Parker Hall's doors,
and filling the Haley Center fountains with soap
powder.
Campus Security tried to control it, but how
do you stop a gang of college students looking for
some good clean fun on a warm spring night?
Things died down as summer approached and
the excitement of the warm weather diminished
with the high power bills. There's always some
vandalism in Auburn and on campus, but it's
generally known by students that spring is the
time to prowl. Summer's too hot and fall's too
busy and winter's too wet and cold to fully enjoy
the thrill of destruction.
Well, don't look now, but there's a place where
"spring vandalism" has broken the mold and set
a year round pace that threatens to destroy a
part of Auburn. It's not due to the early spring
weather Auburn's experienced lately. This rash
of vandalism has been going on all year at the
new University apartments, Caroline Draughon
Village, or CDV as the residents call it.
I spent a weekend there recently and saw
firsthand what was going on. The people out
there play rough. I witnessed the destruction of
an innocent light pole. A bunch of guys spent an
hour kicking at one defenseless pole until it
yielded and fell. It wasn't a flimsy pole; it was a
sturdily constructed street lamp, but like
anthing else, it couldn't stand constant abuse.
If you've never been to CDV, to understand
the horror of such vandalism you need to know
that the new University apartments were clean
and neat this summer before the residents,
mostly freshmen, arrived. It was modern and
functional, which made it preferable for guys.
suffering from Magnolia Dormitory's aged
condition. But at the rate it's being vandalized
there won't be a brick left for annual "spring
vandalism."
Johnney Owen, an upperclassmen living at
CDV, is upset at the destruction of the
apartments. "I moved out here after a year at
Mag, but at the rate these people are tearing this
place apart it'll be just like Mag in five years."
For example, certain first-floor residents
delight in using their back bedroom windows for
front doors, victimizing the screens that now lie
twisted and bent outside where they were
wrenched off. The elevators, a convenience not
fully appreciated until lost, are abused to the
breaking point.
Abby
Pettiss
One resident, in a fit of pique on Friday night,
kicked his first floor window out for no apparent
reason. Bags of garbage thrown out randomly
from the upper floor balconies lie amid the
broken beer bottles in the center park of the
complex.
But the real ornaments of the little park are
the bicycle wheels hanging from the tree
branches. It's not just one or two, but nine or 10
hanging out there.
"It's the bike toss. They throw bikes off the
balconies until they're mangled enough to throw
into the trees," explained Ben Fitzpatrick, a
resident of CDV. It's not known whether the
bikes belong to the pranksters or not.
It's hard to point blame for the problem.
Maybe it's the large freshman population.
Freshman new to Auburn are trying their wings
and aren't as appreciative of the new apartments
as residents who've lived in other University
housing. They can't know what it as like to live in
Magnolia or Auburn Hall, which were rich in
atmosphere, but low in hot water and new
furniture.
Or maybe the reason is the residents know
they can get away with the destruction with
little punishment. After all, the new buildings
are apartments and not subject to dorm mothers
or resident advisers. With the University as a
landlord they feel it's easier to get away with
small acts of vandalism.
But the small acts are multiplying. And it's the
little things that add up to big bucks for the
University when it has to replace and keep the
new apartments in good repair. With money
tight within the University and especially at
Housing, it's not practical to continue replacing
things that continue to get broken.
The rest of the University students don't
notice the vandalism at CDV because it doesn't
directly affect their lives. But maybe the
residents of the new apartments should be little
more respectful of their home and not be afraid
to talk. their neighbors into not kicking down
that next light pole or throwing that extra beer
bottle off the balcony.
It would be nice to call the new apartments
"new" for a few more years.

Creationism in public schools
'sounds good enough to me'
The scene: A student government meeting,
Anytown College USA.
The issue: A recommendation to the state
legislature that creationism be taught in public
schools. We join this meeting already in
progress.
"Would anyone like to say anything else
before we put it to a vote?" asks a man in a
three-piece suit.
"Yes," says a man jumping up in the audience,
"Don't you think that the faculty is in a better
position to judge an issue like this? The other
night they unanimously voted for a bill
diametrically opposed to this one. You're all
students; who are you to presume that you can
make decisions on academic policy better than
your professors?"
"You forget," responds the man in the suit,
"that in a couple years we'll be making more
money than they are. We're already driving
better cars."
"I can't argue with that. Sorry for the
interruption." The man in the audience sits
down.
Another man stands up and speaks. "But don't
you think that the state's legislators will be
acting out of their fields. Don't you think that it
cheapens academics by bypassing the normal
processes that ideas gain creedence in educa­tional
circles. To use an example from Robert
Pirsig: just as a church, whose responsibility is
to God, may fall victim to the interests of its
benefactors, so might academia, whose respons­ibility
is to truth, fall victim to legislatures and
special interests. Aren't you giving validity to
that statement. Aren't these proceedings
essentially a farce?"
"No."
The resolution is put to a vote and passes
almost unanimously.
One week later:
The man in the three-piece suit is speaking
again. "Since we decided last week that religious
beliefs are well-grounded reasons to junk the
scientific process, we must now be fair to all
religions and propose that their theories of the
Tim
Dorsey
\
universe also be taught in the classroom. May we
have our first proposal?"
"HeUo, I'm from the church of St. Foghorn
Leghorn, and we believe that the galaxies came
into being when a fast food chain began
expanding."
"Sounds good enough to me; theory approved.
Next please."
A man wearinga t-shirt that says "Copernicus
was a heretic" stands up." Hi, I'm from the
Children's Temple of Slim Whitman, and we
subscribe to the Mrs. Folger's Mountain Grown
Theory of the Universe."
"Good enough for us. Secretary, include that
theory in the resolution. Next please."
"Good afternoon, my name is Roger Ramjet
from Walt Disney Studios, and I'd like to propose
the Mary Poppins story of creation."
"Who is your little friend you've got with
you?"
"Oh, that's Tennessee Tuxedo. He's here with
the dental floss theory."
"Both sound fine to me. You can expect them in
next fall's text books if the legislature acts
quickly. Next please....'
This afternoon:
"Hey Dorsey," someone yells to me on the
concourse, "I read your column, and were you
trying to say that creationism is as absurd as
those other theories you mentioned!"
"Absolutely not, but the method being used to
try to introduce it into the classroom - religious
sentiment and legislation.instead of gaining
acceptance in the academic community - is."
3:17 p.m. CDT. Monday, March 30, 1981.
A bullet almost ended the dream one hour and
fifty minutes ago.
The news dribbles in slowly to the Plainsman
office. President Reagan had been shot in
Washington in front of the Hilton Hotel. ABC has
announced that after what seems like an
eternitv. the doctors at George Washington
Hospital have decided to surgically remove a
bullet lodged in the left chest of the president.
I stood with about 50 other students in the
lobby of the Union Building only 45 minutes ago,
watching as the networks repeated the same
gruesome scene again and again, even to the
point of showing it in slow motion. From the
films, it was impossible to tell what was
happening to the president, but it was all too
clear that three men, the White House press
secretary, a Secret Service agent ana a
uniformed policeman were on the ground.
My heart had dropped when Scott rushed in to
tell me earlier that Reagan had been shot as well,
not a situation news services had originally
reported.
This was my president, the first one for whose
election I had ever really worked, the first one I
had had the opportunity to vote for. Dedication
may not be strong enough a word for the feeling I
have for the president, for it touches also on a
great deal of personal affection.
Steve
Farish
Then there is poor Jim Brady, the White
House press secretary. Fat and jolly, the press
had reported that Nancy Reagan had not wanted
him because he was not handsome enough. Why
him too?
Thoughts are beginning to flood this mind.
Who is this assasin, this John Hinckley who the
press reports to be both 23 and 33 years old?
Why do I want to take that young jerk and
bring some harm to him? I told a friend, not
jokingly, that I would love to see him hanged
from the Washington Monument.
Why do the reports come in so slow?
Alexander Haig tells us the bullet had punctured
the president's lung, but he insists the situation
is not critical. God, I hope that he's right.
The radio says Vice President George Bush is
on his way to Washington, his flight from Fort
Worth having been set up on a moment's notice.
For added significance, the Congress has shut
down as had the New York Stock Exchange.
A report from France indicates that President
Giscard D'Estaing was being interviewed on
television live when he got the word. One of the
interviewers gave the president the bulletin,
and he immediately left the air.
The world has stopped for a few hours.
Anyone who argues that the president of the
United States is not the most powerful person in
the world is sorely, sorely wrong.
The thoughts still rush to the mind. My
president, I think, cannot possibly be taken from
me so soon. He is the man who embodies my
dreams, my hopes for the country I love so much.
Somehow, it has not been right for we
conservatives to have dreams about the future.
Only the liberal could emotionally lead a group
and say, "I have a dream."
But Reagan had a dream, and it was a dream
that captured my imagination, for the first time
in my life, I have been able to totally dedicate
myself to a cause. I do not want that dream to be
taken away, especially when it just now is
beginning to take flight.
The reports keep saying the president is in
"stable" condition, and that he will be okay.
It is getting very hard to type, for my hands
are beginning to shake even more than at any
time since the shooting.
But, thank God, the president is not dead.
Yes, thank God, the dream still lives.
Common sense best crime stopper
Rumors are quite often both the scourge and
the staple of the news business. No responsible
newspaper would print an unsubstantiated
story, but a whispered comment, a natch of
conversation has often provided a reporter with
a basis and a beginning for a solid, factual report.
Just as easily however, as witnessed by the
early coverage of the Reagan shooting, even the
barest acknowledgment of a rumor by a news
organization can lend credence to that rumor
and cause it to spread and distort.
In the three years I have worked for The
Plainsman, rumors of assaults and rapes in the
Quad and Hill dorm areas have surfaced on
occasion. The stories sometimes contain ele­ments
of detail, but are not firsthand and do not
mention names. Despite the persistence of these
rumors, The Plainsman has been unable to
verify, either through campus security or other
sources, any incidences of rape on campus.
Assaults and dorm break-ins have been reported
by the paper, primarily because the facts in
these incidents, both from the victims and
campus police, tend to be more accessible.
Campus Police Chief Millard Dawson said only
one rape had ever been reported on campus,
"and that's been 10 or 15 years ago." Dawson
A T T i?i • • l r • AU library in midst ot raging war
The notion of war is not casually dismissed by
many people. As world situations grow tense
and the prospect of war grows nearer, people
reflect on the past battles that have brought
both bloodshed and grief.
But even closer than El Salvador, there is a
casualty list that is growing in numbers while
the fighting troops are thinning out and
becoming weary. That war is being fought at
Auburn, and the casualties are the professors
who are choosing other institutions as places to
further their careers.
True, these casualties aren't bloody, and it
won't turn your stomach to watch one pack a
suitcase and leave the loveliest village. But each
time a professor leaves and classes steadily
increase in numbers, Auburn experiences
another direct hit, and the effect is crippling.
In the School of Arts and Sciences, the
department of history reports losing three
graduate teaching assistants. The English
department, too, reports some losses. Depart­ment
head Burl Hiitchcock said it was his
impression that more professors are going to
leave the university.
TheSchool of Pharmacy reported losing three
of its professors.
TheSchool of Businesshas suffered two losses,
and anticipates more, because the professors
have gotten better positions elsewhere with an
average 30 percent salary increase.
These are just a few examples of the
casualties. The list goes on.
These casualties have not only been hit in the
pocket, but also in the head. Though low salaries
have caused a number of professors to search for
Karen
Hartley
jobs elsewhere, they have also been intellectual­ly
stymied as the library remains the target of
repeated bombings.
The initial bomb was a $200,000 cut in
periodicals to be implemented in May of this
year. This cut is a result of two years of level
funding combined with proration of 7 percent
and a 21.3 percent increase in periodicals cost.
Since the university has been told to expect
level funding again this year, there seems little
hope that the state will bail out the library.
Future funds may be made available to the
university through other channels, but the
library cannot wait that long, because once the
$200,000 is cut, to back purchase would be a
costly venture.
So what's the alternative?Tuition increases
have been suggested by the faculty senate and
virtually ignored by the Board of Trustees.
Therefore, to enlist the mandatory aid of
students via student fees is not a possible
consideration. But are we, the students, so
apathetic that we can't act independently to aid
the library? Can we not, through concern and
interest, do our part in fighting the on-going war
at Auburn? If not, the battle was lost long ago
when the students failed to recognize a
responsibility to higher education.
It's sad that the students should be made to
foot the bill for higher education, but at the same
time, can we afford to sit back and watch our
library receive repeated attacks? The serious­ness
of the situation would be evidenced by the
student's willingness to take part in supporting
the library.
A group of students has formed under the title
of the Auburn Student Library Fund to help
campus organizations launch fund drives for the
library. Throughout the spring quarter cam­paign,
they are using the slogan "Buy Your Own
Book" (B.Y.O.B.)
They have set a goal of $35,000 to be raised
through fund drives and later channeled
towards buying books for the library.
The first of a series of fund drives is sponsored
by the University Program Council. The council
has planned a week of events, entitled "Bookin'
Into Spring", to the students. Some events,
including Vincent Price and the Michael
Murphey/Gene Cotton Concert will have an
admission fee. All profits from these will be
contributed to the library.
The opportunity to aid the library is there. But
it is up to the students to prove to the
administration that they care about, the
situation and that they realize the seriousness of
the matter.
The students are a last measure in a long
string of attempts to raise money. Without their
help Auburn's library will suffer, and eventually
we will lose both the battle and the war.
Parents should decide about children's education
Editor, The Plainsman,
I have been watching with great interest the
debate concerning whether scientific creation­ism
should or should not be taught in Alabama
schools alongside the theory of evolution.
I think both those pro and con have missed a
very fundamental issue underlying this debate:
an issue which underlies many, if not all, of the
emotional and intellectual parental concerns
which have shared heated debate concerning
our state run schools especially during the last
10-15 years.
The issue could just as well be public vs.
private prayer, sex education, homosexual
teachers, bussing for racial quotas, academic vs.
sports emphasis, "back to the basics" vs.
"progressive" education and on and on and
on....The fundamental issue is the God given
right of parents to decide for themselves what
type of education their children will receive.
In economics, it is well known that whenever
services or products are provided by a legalized
monopoly (i.e., people aren't given a real choice
among alternatives), that the service/product
will soon rise in cost and drop in quality; that
there will be a minimum response to the
demands of the consumer. In essence, "let the
public be hanged, after vll they can't get our
product/service any wher j else at an affordable
price. If they refuse.to buy, we will still get them
to pay for it through legalized robbery (i.e.,
unjust taxation).
Public/state education fits into the category
of being a governmentally privileged monopoly.
But you argue, "education is different! It is so
necessary. If we didn't have forced tax support
of state education, then the poor, minorities and
many in the middle class couldn't get an
education. Right?" Wrong!
I do not have the space to go into the numerous
advantages of a pluralistic, private education
system over the monopoly, state education
system. Let me just point out that all the issues
that have been so hotly debated, including the
recent scientific creatism vs. evolution issue,
could be resolved peacefully and rationally by
allowing parents to have the option to send their
children to schools where the desired subjects
and philosophical emphasis are taught.
If parents wanted evolution taught with no
prayer, have a purely academic emphasis and
progressive philosophy, then they could send
their children to a school offering that mix of
educational programs. Ifaschool did not already
exist and there were other parents with the
same desires, they could start their own school.
If parents wanted a different educational mix
including creatism then they could send them to
the appropriate school. One parent's individual
choice does not interfere with the rights of other
parents to choose a completely different
education for their children.
Forcingother persons to support your beliefs,
whether theistic or humanistic, through tax­ation,
is morally wrong! Voluntarily giving to
support your beliefs is the only just way.
Our country has strayed far from the
fund amental issue of individual liberty in many
areas. No better (worst?) example can be given
than our unqualified, unquestioning support of
the state education monopoly. Until we move
forward to a more moral system which respects
and cherishes individual differences, we can
expect the continued growth of societal conflict
and deterioration of academic excellence.
Radical? Sure is, if by radical you mean
attacking the root of a problem. We need some
fundamental change. There is no better more
important place to start this change than with
the state education system which molds the
thinking and values of future generations.
Liberty does work! We just haven't given it a
real chance.

Mangels
estimated five or six assaults involving coeds
had occured in the dorm areas in the past 12
months, including both major and minor
incidents.
A lighting study conducted by six industrial
engineering students and submitted as a class
project last November reported critical lighting
problems in the upper Quad area, the Haley
Center concourse and several areas of the Hill
dorms. Both Dawson and Security Captain
Donald Rogers said they felt lighting could be
improved in some areas, but that all walkways
were adequately lighted. "If you take shortcuts,
you.are going to run into dark areas," Dawson
said.
Both the Hill and the Quad haveone watchman
on foot patrol between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. Security
cars pass through each area "about once every 15
or 20 minutes',' according to Dawson, and the
security coverage is "as much as the city police
provide."
When asked if a coed walking alone at night on
campus would be safe, Rogers said it was "hard
to say. I think a person would be relatively safe
alone, but then again, how safe is safe?"
Another persistent topic of speculation has
been that the "powers that be" on campus,
whether Campus Security or persons within the
administration, have attempted to squelch any
reports of rape of violent assault in order to
maintain the safe, conservative image of the
University. Rogers said he does "not detect"
anything that would back up such speculation.
Security specialist Penny Avera said she
believed Auburn "really is a relatively safe
University," and that the records kept by
Campus Security bear out that statement.
I asked Rogers if he thought it was possible
that assaults on campus go unreported.
Nationally, an average of only two in 10 rapes
are reported to police. "We hear of various
things happening, but we can't deal with
speculation," Rogers said. "The only things I can
report to you are what we've got as statistics and
facts. We can't act unless an incident is
reported."
Dawson said a female officer would be
assigned to deal with the victim in the event of a
rape on campus. Both Drake Student Health
Center and Lee County Hospital have treatment
facilities for rape victims, and both the Health
Center and the East Alabama Mental Health
Center maintain rape counseling services.
Rogers says Campus Security operates a
"well-rounded program" in rape prevention
instruction. "We try to help as much as possible
in whatever manner possible," Rogers said.
"The program has been utilized quite a bit, but I
think it can be used more. Any time anyone
needs information, they can call Ms. Avera or
myself and we'll be glad to help them."
Those are the facts. Some have suggested The
Plainsman provide more investigative coverage
on the subject of rapes and assaults on the
Auburn campus. From my perspective as news
editor, it is frustrating not to be able to report
more than we do, but if campus statistics are
anywhere near the national average, the
majority of violent assaults are not being
reported to anyone, and we can't write what no
one will tell us.
And yet those nagging rumors continue to
reappear. If there is an element of truth in any of
those reports (and statistics alone indicate that
might be the case), then simple awareness of
such assaults could aid in prevention. Tragically,
precautions aren't often taken until after a rape
or assault shocks people into taking them. And
awareness can only be brought about through
the reporting of these incidents to the proper
authorities.
But perhaps a change in attitudes can prevent
those rumors from ever starting. Despite its
image as a conservative school in a small,
relatively crime-free Southern town, violent
crime can and on occasion does occur here.
Students, both males and females, take risks
with unlocked car and apartment doors and
unaccompanied walks at night through campus
that they would never dream of doing in
Birmingham or Atlanta, simply because they
don't expect, can't believe, that something could
happen to them here.
Alarm and fear aren't necessary. Simple
common sense is. There are areas on campus
that simply aren't adequately lighted. If you
can't avoid traveling through them at night,
without an escort, tell a friend what time you're
leaving and when you expect to be back. The best
advice comes from Penny Avera: "Let the
situation you're in dictate your actions. Be aware
of what's going on around you."
Should students hold tongues
or act as 'permanent residents?'
Editor, The Plainsman,
If my memory serves me correctly, our
forefathers of this great country died on the
bridge at Concord, were massacred on the
Boston Main and starved and froze to death at
Valley Forge to provide their generation and
ours with certain rights, one of these being "no
taxation without representation."
Certain members of the community have
suggested that Auburn students, who do pay
taxes into the city coffer, should keep quiet and
not participate in the forthcoming property tax
referendum. Students, who have taken time to
declare their residency and registered to vote,
should not exercise their constitutional right at
the ballot box, some say, but leave the running of
the city strictly to permanent residents.
Who is a permanent resident? Obviously no
one is. We will all leave someday, one way or
another. Can we define a transient resident as
one residing in Auburn less than five years? This
definition disenfranchises more than students.
It includes military personnel, business mana­gers,
industrialist assigned to the Auburn area,
graduate students, faculty members who are
using employment at the University as a step to
greater achievements, and so on.
Within the next week it appears there will be
an attempt on the part of one or more members of
the City Council to throw out a few crumbs in an
effort to distract those in Auburn that reside in
rental property, while the pro-ad valorem tax
proponents grab the entire cake.
A statement has been made that "the entire
membership of the City Council is on record as
favoring the removal of the 2 percent rental tax
now paid by landlords on their gross receipts of
rent when the ad valorem tax takes effect." This
statement is not correct.
I will not be presumptuous and speak for the
other members of the council, but I will state
only my views. This tax should have been
removed several years ago when state
legislation changed the status of rental
residential property from residential to com­mercial
and this action resulted in a person that
rents paving twice the tax rate of the
homeowner.
My position is that the residential rental tax
should be removed at the end of ths fiscal year,
September 30,1981, no matter how the vote goes
on the ad valorem tax.
There is a threat by some, that if the ad
valorem tax fails, the City Council will impose a
sales tax. Some members might attempt this,
but my stand is that any important tax such as a
sales tax, especially where it is to be earmarked
for a specific purpose, should be approved by a
vote of the people.
There appears to be a misconception in that
only students rent. Perhaps our tax proponents
need to examine the city more closely. There is a
large group of non-students who rent, including
the lower income group which can not afford to
own their own home. These are the ones that will
pay twice the rate of those that own their homes.
Where is rental property located? It is
primarily near or adjacent to the central
business district or other commercial areas. The
size of a lot or the elegance of a house are only
minor factors in the assessed value of land. A
spacious residential lot in an outlying subdivi­sion
can easily be assessed at 1/50 of the value of
a duplex lot located within two blocks of
Toomer's Corner.
As usual, those that express their willingness
to sacrifice in order to have a stiff ad valorem tax
are in reality those that will sacrifice the least.

Ireland unveils student act model
By Scott Thurston
Editor
An architect's model and floor
plans of the proposed new student
activities building were unveiled by
SGA President Trey Ireland
Tuesday night at a meeting of
student leaders and candidates at
the home of President and Mrs.
Hanly Funderburk.
Ireland said groundbreaking for
the new building is tentatively
scheduled for early July. The
building, which will be located
between Memorial Coliseum and
the Wilbur Hutsell Track, will
include seven basketball courts, an
area and auditorium space for
speakers and stage productions.
The structure will cover the area
of two football fields, said Ireland.
Ireland noted that the tentative
groundbreaking in July will culmi­nate
a five-year project begun by
1976SGAPresident Buck Ruffin and
carried through the past five admin­istrations.
Ireland and administra­tive
Vice President Jim Kee have
spearheaded the project this year.
Funderburk commented thathe is
)leased with the progress of the
project this year. However, he
added that any construction plans
for the building remain tentative
pending the sale of bonds by the
University.
Although the building is being
financed through an addition to
studentfees approved by students in
a referendum last year, Funder­burk
said the University normally
sells bonds before starting construc­tion
on any building project.
' 'The bond market is still not good
enough to sell bonds, but I hope it will
improve in the next few weeks so we
can get on with selling bonds for this
very important project," said Fun­derburk.
Funderburk said the project is an
example of how "vital" the SGA
can be at Auburn.
Funderburk also praised the work
of students involved in the current
fund-raising drive for Ralph
Draughon Library.
"The library's problems haven't
gone unnoticed (by the administra­tion),
believe me," said Funder­burk.
"Butwejusthaven'tbeenable
to afford any appreciable amounts
to help it out."
The president called the "Buy
Your Own Book" campaign to raise
funds for the library, "another

Board votes to sell Florida kennel
By Kathy Jernigan
Plainsman Staffwriter
The Auburn board of trustees
recently approved the sale of a
kennel owned by a Fort Lauderdale
woman who willed $9 million to
Auburn University with the agree­ment
that her more than 100 dogs
would be taken care of until they
died.
The University's board of trustees
approved the sale of the kennel and
181 acres of land in Deerf ield Beach,
Fla., through the Century National
Bank of Broward, trustee of the late
Eleanor E. Ritchey's estate, ac­cording
to the Ft. Lauderdale News.
Thomas Samford, attorney for the
board of trustees, said profit from
the sale, about $2.77 million, will be
invested under the trust agreement
made 12 years ago.
Ritchey willed her assets to the
Auburn School of Veterinary Medi­cine
with the understanding that the
money be used to research diseases
of small animals.
The trustees decided the $6,000 a
year it costs to maintain the kennel
was too much. Samford reported
that only nine of the more than 100
dogs are still alive. He added that
other facilities will be provided for
the surviving dogs.
Auburn receives several hundred
thousand dollars a year from the
Ritchey estate, Samford said.
Under the will, the trust dissolves in
20 years or upon the death of the last
dog, according to Samford.
Ritchey reportedly became inter­ested
in Auburn's Veterinary Medi­cine
School by following the football
career of Tucker Frederickson.
Frederickson, a native of Holly­wood,
Fla., played for Auburn as a
fullback during the early 1960s and
went on to play professionally with
the New York Giants, the News
reported.

tickets April 6 through 11 with
no limit on the amount bought. The
coliseum will seat 8,800.
In response to the price of the
Michael Murphey tickets, Little
said, "Some of these events are not
priced competitively, but the stu­dents
should keep in mind that the
money is for a donation to the
library.
"This is everyone's chance to
fight the library's financial pro­blems
and do something about
them," Little said.
The UPC is investing a lot of
money and the revenue made from
the events will not go to pay for the
entertainment, he said. "All pure
profit will go towards the Library
Fund," Little said.
In conjunction with the overall
campaign to Buy Your Own Book
(B.Y.O.B.), other organizations
have started to contribute funds.
The Frisbee Club is sponsoring a
f risbee / golf tournament April 8
and 9 with a $1 entry fee.
The Sigma Pi Fraternity and
Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority raised
$455 for the fund by setting up table
blocks the first two days of classes.
Panhellenlc voted to give $400 to the
library and Omicron Delta Kappa
donated $50 from its treasury.
The Fine Arts Council is also
devoting Fine Arts Week to help
raise funds for the library.

don't moan and groan about a

In response to questions about
funding for the coming year,
Funderburk repeated his belief that
a general economic upturn will be
required before Auburn will have a
chance at significant funding in­creases
from the Legislature.
"Auburn people have a responsi­bility
to let the taxpayers know what
the situation is without' being
alarmist and losing credibility,'' he
said when one student asked if
legislators might think Auburn
people "are crying wolf."
' 'We would cry a little louder if we
were alone, "Funderburk said, "but
we all know what the situation in
state and federal government is
right now."
Funderburk also said he sees "no
great groundshell of support for
de-emphasizing athletics" during
the current funding crisis.
"I don't see why we can't have a
top academic and athletic pro­gram,
'' he said.' 'Whether you like it
or not, alumni tend to identify with
the athletic program first," he
added. "That's just a fact."

Electrical fire at J&M
causes minor damage
CANOPY FIRE
. storefront damaged by shorted wire
Photography: MikeOvomafc
By Kathy Jernigan
Plainsman Staffwriter
An electrical fire at Johnston and
Malone Bookstore early Tuesday
morning burned the wooden canopy
over the front of the store and
damaged the flourescent sign on the
canopy.
Trey Johnston, assistant mana­ger
at J & M, located on South
College Street, said the fire probably
started because of the rain that filled
the valice where the electrical
wiring is run.
"We think it was a short that
caused the fire," Johnston said.
"We're just real lucky to have been
able to open up today," he added.
Johnston said the large orange J &
M sign is turned on about 5:30 p.m.
each afternoon and remains on all
night. He said it was hard to
determine when the wires might
have started shorting out.
Three pumper trucks and one
truck and ladder unit responded to
the fire from the Auburn Fire
Department.
A spokesman for the department
said that about 22 firemen were on
the scene and one truck remained at
J&M throughout the night in case
other fires started.
The fire department reported
total damages to the bookstore
included fire damage to the sign and
wooden canopy at the storefront,
smoke damage to the first and
second floors, and damage to the
wiring of the flourescent signs.
American government point of Iranian hate
By David Gary
Plainsman Staffwriter
Mogtaba Hashemi-Kia, 18, is an
Auburn University student. He is
from Iran.
Leaving his native country in 1977,
Hashemi came to America to get a
college education. This would have
been difficult for him to receive at
home since Iranian universities are
severely overcrowded.
After completing his curriculum
in agriculturial engineering in 1983,
he will return to Iran.
By returning with a degree in this
field, he said that he will be better
able to serve his nation than he
would with a degree in mechanical
engineering, which was his first
career choice.
The Iranian government wants
the country to become self-suppor­ting
in food production. Hashemi
Hashemi said the Iranian people
became irate with the Shah about
the killing of innocent people and
began to have grievances against
the United States after finding that
the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency had connections with Savak.
"This is a fact that CIA trained
Savak," he said. "They brought
Savak agents to CIA headquarters
here. They (the Iranian people) lost
their family. They look for the
cause. They find CIA to be the cause,
so they try to get even."
When President Jimmy Carter
delivered a human rights speech in
1977 to the Iranian people, there was
some hope given to the people who
Hashemi said were denied proper
food, housing and education under
the Shah's govenment. "Then he
(Carter) supplied Shah with CIA
and all those arms...all the money
was spent on the armed forces and
.. "The Iranians see America as a
very democratic country, so they hold
only the American people responsible
for their government. >)
says he will receive from the
government a complete farm set up,
including machinery and land. In
return he will be expected to sell his
produce exclusively to the nation.
Insisting that Iranians do not hate
the American people even after the
long period of strained relations, he
said, "The Iranians see America as
a very democratic country, so they
only hold the American people
responsible for their government.
The Iranians hate only the Ameri­can
government. If you were to walk
down the street in Iran today, no one
would beat you to death."
Hashemi left Iran before the
bloody revolution which resulted in
the overthrow of the Shah, but he
was there to see the results of the
Shah's secret police, Savak, in
action.
While never witnessing an actual
torture death, which Savak was
known for doing, Hashemi told the
story of seeing his own brother being
beaten by Savak, suffering broken
ribs.
"One day we were driving down
the street," Hashemi said. "My
brother was going to pick up his
friend, and the Savak agent came to
us and said, 'get the -—out of here'
and my brother didn't know he was a
; Savak agent. He said, 'I 'm just
coming to pick up my friend.' They
took my brother out and beat him up
very badly. That is the only thing I
saw personally."

Only after the Ayahtollah Kho­meini
was able to unite the people by
use of their deep devotion to the
Islamic religion was the monarchy
overthrown. "They used their bare
hands against bullets. They didn't
care if they were killed," he said.
Self-sacrifice by the Iranians is
something Hashemi said is basic to
the Iranian nature. Those 100,000
people who died during the revolu­tion
felt it an honor to die for the
cause since it was done to seek
retribution for the Shah's exploita­tions.
' "The law of Islam says no one gets
away with murder. An Iranian first
has deep love for God, then country,
then the human race," he said.
This following of Islamic law is
what Hashemi said motivated the
people to kill all the Savak agents.
He does not believe that reports of
Iranian violence against innocent
people are true.
Hashemi said the taking of the
American hostages was violence,
' 'but I don't blame my people for it.
The hostages were taken because
the people hold the United States
responsible for support of the Shah.
They tried to tell the world what
happened (under the Shah) but no
one would listen."
While Hashemi said he believes
that none of the hostages would have
been killed, except in the possible
case of military intervention, he
said the hostage situation was used
to accomplish two goals.
First, following their belief that
the United States is powerful enough
to do anything it wants to do, the
Iranians were trying to get the
United States to make the world
listen. "The other one was to get
even with the United States."
Hashemi emphasizes his belief
that Iranians respect American
democracy. His people would not
hold the people of a Communist
government responsible for the
actions of the government since
such systems are not controlled by
the people, he said.
In coping with the expected
antagonistic remarks Hashemi re­ceives
in regard to his nationality,
he cannot understand why some
Americans hold him responsible for
the hostage crisis.
"I cannot accept why Americans
call me bad or hold me responsible
for the crisis," he said. "They are
educated. When I ask them if they
know why the Iranians did it, they
don't care why. They don't want to
know. It scares me. If you are
educated, why don't you think? If
you call yourself educated, why do
you have such a low level of
thinking?"
As for his countrymen, Hashemi
said, "I don'tblame them for calling
you a —- American. Their level of
understanding is low."
He explained that the Shah's rule
also severely affected the education
of the masses. Because there is no
money spent on schools, most of the
people are uneducated. Problems in
education are so bad that even today
Hashemi said 10 million students
are trying to enter only eight to ten
universities. The universities have
been forced to become highly
selective. This is why Iran has such a
vast number of students seeking
foreign educations.
Hashemi said the move to "west- *
ernize" his country is not well
received in Iran. He personally does
not support the "westernization" of
his nation.
"Everyone here (in the United
States) thinks of self. When I see the
non-fiction section of the book store,
there are nothingbut books on how to
get rich and how to get money.
' 'If that is what westernization is, I
do not want it. I do want the
technology (broughtabout) through
education. I want my people to be
educated."

are a part of a new collegiate sport
called "Killer."
Killer as an Organized Sport
(KAOS) has hit the campus of
Auburn. Several groups have suc­cessfully
taken part in the new game
already.
The rules are usually elaborate:
Every player is assassin and target
and obligingly fills out a form
describing personal characterist­ics,
habits and class schedules of the
person to be "hit." The object is to
stake out the victim, take him by
surprise and "shoot him" before
your stalker shoots you.

There, 215 students took part in
an 18-day tournament.
There seems to be a problem for
some of those who would like to play.
"We've searched all over for guns,"
said Chris Carey at WEGL. "It's
against the law to make them. The
kind we want is on the 'dangerous
toy list.' The only kinds we can find
are extremely cheap."

'Burnout9 study shows how to cope
If you are chronically tired,
depressed or working less efficient­ly
you could be in a state labeled
' 'burnout,'' a subject under study by
professionals in government, edu­cation
and various other groups.
Dr. John Moracco, associate pro­fessor
of counselor education at
Auburn University, cites the above
symptoms as being among many
signs of stress leading to burnout in
counselors and organizations. He
has written a monograph on the
subjectfortheERICCounselingand
Personnel Services Clearing House,
a federally sponsored service at the
University of Michigan.
While Moracco's study deals
specifically with counselors and
related organizations, he explains
that these are basically human
service organizations and the data
might apply to others, such as
universities, high schools, pensions
and security offices, health clinics in
larger cities, police bureaus,
YMCAs or any other system that
serves the public.
Moracco's publication draws
from a variety of sources, including
a number of ongoing studies.
"It has been found that one school
system had 184 cases of battle
fatigue among all the teachers
interviewed. They displayed some
of the symptoms which are common
to combat veterans," Moracco said.
He noted that the Tacoma, Wash.,
public school system had instituted
in its teacher contracts three stress
days per year in an effort to alleviate
the problem there.
' 'When teachers feel they've had it
and can't face another day, they just
take a day off," he said, explaining
these days are independent of runny
nose or flu day.
' 'The indirect benefit could be less
teacher turnover and fewer disci­pline
problems, though you just
can't point your finger and say
stress causes these," he said.
A study of 131 occupations in
terms of stressfulness which was
conducted by the Occupation Safety
and Health Act (OSHA) rated
human services as number one in
terms of hazard to health, followed
by air traffic control and intensive
care nursing in second and third
places.
"There becomes a similarity
between these organizations. First
of all, you have to deal with people.
Secondly, you get people in positions
for which they have a lot of
responsibility and little authority,"
said Moracco.
Whether authority is a stress
deterrent is not known, but Moracco
said it seems to be a dynamic. "In
teaching there's a lot of responsi­bility,
a lot of stress from the public
and very little authority to make
decisions, as contrasted, for in­stance,
to physicians," he said.
From his ongoing study in Prince
George's County, Moracco said he
and his colleagues may be able to
make some hypotheses, one being
that even with a stressful organiza­tion,
not all people become stressed.
There were individual differences.
"We haven't analyzed this, but I
think it's a person's phychological
outlook toward events," he said.
"The overly concerned individual,
the perfectionist, would be more
stress prone than the individual less
compulsive about being absolutely
perfect."
Individuals also have different
coping techniques, but Moracco
warns that you have to cope without
crutches such as drugs, alcohol or
taking Fridays and Mondays. He
points out other coping mechan­isms,
such as developing a hard-nosed
attitude or a shell of protec­tion
against stress. Police officers,
as well as teachers do this, although
there is the danger of becoming
callous toward the people they are
serving in order to protect them­selves.

protecting shield and callousness. I
don't know where to draw it, but I
think, ultimately, it's how people
perceive you as caring," Moracco
said.
In his monograph, Moracco dis­cusses
a number of strategies for
managing stress, including the
time-honored regimens of vigorous
exercise and periods of relaxation,
or self assessment. Or, he says, an
organization might provide a modi­fied
time out where people work as a
team to support and monitor each
other, even covering for a person
who is showing signs of stress and
allowing the individual to go home.

Spring productions underway
Michael Murphey will be headlining "Bookin' Into Spring," a UPC
sponsored week of fun beginning April 6 and benefitting the library.
, Murphey, known for his hit "Wildfire," will be in concert with Gene Cotton
on April 11 in the Coliseum. Tickets are $3.00 and all proceeds will go to the
library fund.
By Alec Harvey
Assistant Entertainment Editor
This spring quarter will be a very
busy one for the cast and crew
members of the Auburn University
theatre department. The Telfair
Peet Theatre will be the scene this
quarter of both "The Mousetrap," a
mystery written by Dame Agatha
Christie, and "Little Mary Sun­shine,"
a musical written by Rick
Besoyn.
The first production to be pre­sented
will be "The Mousetrap."
Currently the longest running play
on the British stage, "The Mouse­trap"
has been called the "perfect
mystery" by many critics.
The entire action of the play takes
place in a winter inn, newly acquired
by Giles and Mollie Ralston. On the
day the Ralston's open their inn, a
brutal murder is committed in
nearby London. Nevertheless, five
intriguing guests arrive to spend the
weekend at the inn. The guests soon
find out, however, that their stay is
not a holiday. One by one, the guests
are murdered. It is up to Sergeant
Trotter to unravel the mystery. Who
is the murderer and why were these
people brought together?
Mollie and Giles are played by the
very familiar Deborah Anderson,
and the less familiar Glenn Eskew.
Deborah most recently was seen in.
"The Miracle Worker," and played
the lead in "The Secret Affairs of
Mildred Wilde."
The guests are a delightful hand­ful
of characters. Eduardo Martin
portrays Christopher Wren who is
(youguessedit) anarchitect. He has
eyes for the decor of the inn, but
Giles thinks that he has eyes for
Mollie. Mrs. Boyle, the magistrate,
is played by Rebecca Ryals. She is
the oldest guest and is very per­turbed
by some of the goings on at
the inn.
Major Metcalf is played by Rex
Roach. One of the most comical
characters in the play, Major
Metcalf gets along with just about
everyone. Miss Casewell is played
by Katherine Walton. A pretty
young woman, Miss Casewell is
very aggressive and very de­termined
to get what she is after.
Mr. Paravacini is the most in­triguing
of the guests at the inn. He is
a foreigner who is very articulate
and also very mysterious. Ted
VanDall portrays Mr. Paravacini.
Todd Schmidt portrays Sergeant
Trotter, the Sherlock Holmes like
detective.
All of these wonderful chracters,
plus the fact that this is an Agatha
Christie play, assure an enjoyable
performance. The play is a brilliant
whodunit and will keep you guessing
until the final curtain. Performance
dates are April 23-26 and April 30 to
May 3. Tickets will be available at
the box office or by calling 826-4154.
The Auburn theatre department
will also present "Little Mary
Sunshine," a hilarious musical
written by Besoyn.
The play is set in a mountain inn,
managed by Mary Potts. Mary is a
very sweet girl and is horrified to
many humourous moments. The
ladies of the nearby Eastchester
Finishing School also provide the
play with much humor.
Donna Lou Nelson portrays Mary
while Bruce Stewart plays Captain
Jim Warrington. Beth Jones plays
the part of Nancy Twinckle and
Rafael Castro plays Corporal Billy
Jester.
Linda Morris has the role of
Ernestine von Liebedich, an opera
singer from Germany, and Neal
Fenter portrays Uncle Oscar.
Other members of the cast include
Nancy Johnson, Jean Costner,
Nancy Lane, Pat Thornley, Susan
Davis, and Kaki Lucius as the girls
from the finishing school, and
Robert Grant, Steve King, Richard

Willie Nelson on the screen again
"All the world loves an outlaw.
For some damn reason they re­member
'em."
—Jesse James
Willie Nelson was almost
certainly seeking this same admira­tion
and immortality when he
labeled himself one of the outlaws of
country music. What is a little
surprising is that he may have made
it.
His mellow crooning on such old
standards as "September Song"
combined with honky tonk tunes like
"Gotta Get Drunk" have given him
a wide and consistent appeal.
Last year that appeal jumped to
the big screen when he took a
upporting role in • 'Electric Horse­man."
In a film starring Robert
Redf ord and Jane Fonda, one might
expect a newcomer to get lost in the
shuffle. But Willie stepped neatly
into the gap often overlooked by
superstars and became instantly
popular on screen. Part of that was
because many people could identify
with him, and those who couldn't
wanted to.
The next step then was a starring
role. And that is just what he got last
summer in "Honeysuckle Rose." It
is, appropriately, the story of a
country and western singer and it is
a little bit uncomfortably a part
made for Wil
